Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

On January 16, 2008, China Road and Bridge Corporation (CRBC) signed a memorandum of understanding with the Government of Burundi to complete a preliminary feasibility study report and to design and supervise the construction of the Prince Louis Rwagasore Stadium (also known as National Stadium). Then, in 2011, the Chinese Government agreed to donate a variety of goods including stadium seats, vehicles, office supplies, building materials, and agricultural tools to the Government Burundi. Homestar [好事达（福建）股份有限] was the contractor responsible for project implementation. A handover ceremony for the goods was held on March 9, 2012 in Bujumbura. The seats were subsequently installed and put into use at the Prince Louis Rwagasore Stadium (also known as National Stadium).
